I wanted to reshare Fletcher’s incredibly inspiring and very real story from our community 💙
Type 1 diabetes is a condition that people often only see a small snapshot of. Behind the scenes there are constant decisions, blood glucose monitoring, insulin adjustments, planning, problem solving, interrupted sleep, and the emotional load that comes with managing a condition that never takes a day off.
And while the person living with type 1 diabetes carries so much of that burden, their support network often walks that journey right alongside them - parents, partners, family and friends.
There are some truly incredible people living with type 1 diabetes, and Fletcher and his family are no exception. Their resilience, strength and determination are inspiring, and their story highlights both the challenges and the hope that exist within the type 1 diabetes community.
Research in this area is so important. The work being done today has the potential to improve treatments, reduce burden and one day be truly life-changing for individuals and families living with type 1 diabetes.
A big part of why I love what I do is having the privilege of working alongside individuals and families who continue to inspire me every day with their resilience, determination and strength.
If you can, please consider supporting this important cause and take a moment to read Fletcher’s story 💙
